4.5 ⭐️
A truly wonderful Christmas story! Filled with pure magic and makes me want to read more from this author

A fun festive binge read - perfect to get you in the Christmas mood. Loved the cover of this title, it really drew me in.

The cover draws you into this read. It looks like a cozy, fun, fluffy Christmas romance. And that is exactly what this is.
If you like the cheesy hallmark movies, you will like this book.

I thought this was going to be a fun holiday read but honestly I had to skim in some parts. The premise was there, I loved the idea of the north pole and the magic. Mason being next in line for Santa. How fun! Right? Eh... from the beginning I was struggling with the interactions but I wanted to push through and see if it got better. It didn't really improve for me and I wasn't a super big fan of their romance either. I was left feeling pretty disappointed in this slow burn romance. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC!

I try to go into a book fully blind. So I had no idea what I was subjecting myself to. But I am glad I took a chance because the story was gripping from the very beginning. It had my full attention. It's really rare that I love both MC's these days but this author really made it happen. Highly recommend and I will be actively looking for more of her books!

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

this book was light and fluffy and didn't have much plot to it in my opinion. I found myself skimming through most of it, which I guess maybe christmas romances aren't for me!

Such a fun Christmas romance! I loved the vibe, felt just like a hallmark movie, so it's perfect for the silly season!

Fast paced, christmas read that felt like a hallmark movie. i love a good holiday read and this was super good!

Fun Christmas read - it had the perfect amount of chaos to make it so enjoyable!

Thank you Netgalley!

A very fast paced festive read. Definitely a book that could be turned into one of the hallmark Christmas films. I would say its rather average in the story as its something I have definitely heard of before but never means its a bad book. Would recommend as a cute fast paced festive read.

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this ARC.
3 Stars.
I found the storyline a bit boring.

This one was so good!! It got my in the holiday spirit and I loved every second of it! Highly recommend!!

This ARC looked perfect for the winter season but I was unfortunately unable to try it due to formatting issues. I attempted to read this on both mobile and my KOBO libra but unfortunately it would not display correctly.

The Hating Game meets Hallmark in this sweet, sexy and festive book! Ideal if you love Christmassy books mixed with your typical romance - perfect to read in a weekend!

So fun and the perfect book for romance readers looking for some holiday content!

The Naughty or Nice Clause was a quick fun read and the perfect amount of lightness while still being fun. I highly recommend to readers looking for Christmas romance books with a bit of spice.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I wanted to love this book as Christmas books are always my favorite books to read every year. Unfortunately, this one missed the mark for me, and I couldn't focus on the story. With that being said, I am planning to reread it during the next Christmas season and hope I can give it a more favorable review.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting access to this book!

Although this book was cute I really felt like it was just okay. I don't think I'll remember it when I go back to pick my next round of Christmas reads. The ending felt rushed and the two main characters lacked chemistry.

"The Naughty Or Nice Clause" by Kate Callaghan is a delightful holiday romp that combines corporate intrigue with Christmas magic. Lyla finds herself thrust into a partnership with Mason Klaus, a frosty investor who now holds the reins of her family's toy company. As they navigate their evident disdain for each other, a disastrous Christmas party leads to an unexpected deal: Lyla must spend twelve days in a magical winter wonderland with Mason and his family.

Callaghan weaves a charming tale of reluctant cooperation, unveiling secrets, and discovering unexpected connections. The juxtaposition of the corporate world with the enchanting holiday setting adds a unique flavor to the story. Lyla's journey to win back her company is laced with humor, temptation, and the magic of the season.

"The Naughty Or Nice Clause" is a festive escape that captures the essence of the holiday spirit while delivering a heartwarming romance. With a touch of fantasy and a dash of corporate drama, Callaghan creates a captivating narrative that keeps readers hooked until the last page. Perfect for those seeking a charming holiday read with a hint of magic and romance.

This was the perfect holiday read. It felt like a warm hug at moments and I enjoyed it very much. There wasn't one thing I would change and hope that more people read this novel in the future.
